A monte-carlo raytracer written in Rust.

Monte-Carlo raytracing (or pathtracing) is a way to synthesize physically accurate images. Many effects that would be hard to do with image rasterization or traditional raytracing happen automatically in my raytracer.

Examples of those effects include:

• Soft shadows
• Indirect lighting
• Non-point-like light sources
• Complex surface models (Any BRDF works)
• Depth of field
• Any color model you like (does not have to be RGB or even limited to three primary colors)
• Complex caustics (I could simulate a working telescope without cheating)

The code is very modular, but there are a few things missing:

• Support for objects other than spheres
• Acceleration data structures (Given a number of objects in a scene n, my code runs in O(n), but accelerator structures should take it to O(log(n)))
• True concurrency
